Surplate
We Are More Than A Local Pantry
Company's story, cottage food industry, help
others help themselves, an opportunity
to work for yourself (and remotely).
The founders of SurPlate come
from the tech industry and during the development stages of the
app, many of our close family and friends in tech started getting laid off from work. This
propelled our vision to allow an opportunity for people to continue working from home as
cottage food sellers. Of course not everyone is going to successfully transition from tech
to
home-based food seller, but we wanted to provide a platform for those that choose to sell
cottage foods full time as well as for those who are transitioning in their careers and need
a way to make income.
We are all about minimizing food waste, reducing plastic use, and less reliance on foods
that
travel a long journey to get to customers. We encourage our customers to shop and support
local economies, meet up with their favorite vendors, chefs, and bakers, and community
building all through our app, SurPlate.
As we go through this journey, we
welcome your suggestions and feedback.
